One Last Christmas

Quite a few have asked why His Grace is remotely bothered who is ‘Top of Pops’ at Christmas: why raise money for Alzheimer’s Research by promoting Cliff Richard’s ‘Little Town’? Why create an open goal for The Guardian's predictable ball of scorn?

This video says it all.

It tells the story of a two year-old leukaemia patient named Dax Locke who inspired people all over the country to decorate early for Christmas before he passed away in December 2009.

And it would have been a much worthier Christmas No1 that Matt Cardle’s appalling cover which is enriching no-one more than Sir Simon Cowell (as he will be in the New Year).

I don't need to wait for Christmas to do something for sombody else, Your Grace. I support the local hospice and MacMillan Nurses all year round. To paraphrase, helping people is for life, not just for Christmas.

Seasons greetings to you and yours, Your Grace. I expect to enjoy an interesting New Year courtesy of your inimitable religio-political erudition.

... but Christmas is surely the best of times for us to begin exercising those 'Christian' tenents of charity, kindness, responsibility and modesty, even; which we hope we may carry throughout the year.

As a general rule charity is one of the most corrupting influences known to mankind. This for several reasons, most of which are self-evident.

I have much experience with regards to collecting cash for large charities.

To cut a long story short, the largest donations came from the largest CROOKS, for want of a more inclusive word for them. It would seem that the easier it comes, the easier it is to give away, what is a relatively very small part of their ill gotten gains.

Charity was in the past, as it is today a method by which our high criminal, as well as our ruling classes hope to find favor with their peculiar understanding of God. Charity seems to be very important for these people in particular, I should image because they perform so much profound evil during their daily lives.

Giving of yourself freely to your fellow citizen, should be seen as a perfectly normal thing to be doing.

Not because you feel yourself to be sacrificing in any way, but simply because doing so is as good for your own personal development as a fully conscious human being, as it is for the person receiving your assistance.

For surely if we committed no, or at least far less evil, we would hardly need any charity's at all in the first place.

Charity should never be, but far too often is, is a method by which we seek to lessen our responsibility for the evil we do. Or indeed the good we do not bother doing, mainly because we are so busy working to simply pay taxes, while also feeding ourselves, we no longer have the time or energy to do much more then sleep.

As conservatives, we should understand that if we looked after ourselves first, and then all of those that immediately surround us, the entire world, as well as our particular part of it, would be a very much better place then it currently is.

The last possible thing we should ever do is give any of our surplus wealth to the government to sort out anything more then the pluming.

For the ruling class, their governments, as well as their large established religions and charities are undoubtedly the work of the devil. Who not only long since enriched themselves on the publics falsely created quilt complexes, they have no real interest in solving the problems that they themselves very much helped to create.

Governments have a well recorded habit of spending our highly taxed incomes on poverty creating highly murderous wars, bribing, or indeed installing 3rd world dictatorships, or simply paying trillions in interest to their beloved central banksters, then they do paying for things such as health services for us, or useful infrastructure for the ordinary people of the 3rd world.

Established religions, have historically spent the lions share of their donations on palaces, property portfolios, subversively interfering in national and pan-national politics, and creating ever larger gold reserves, to be held in their very own banks and/or Swiss ones.

All major charities spend more on themselves, and advertising same, then they ever intended to give to their particular causes.

However, smuggling away the proceeds is often better then what they would have done with it otherwise.

In many ways training people to rely on charity for their very living, either as an employee or as a receiver, is one of the most tried and tested methods of first controlling and then effectively killing off both of them.

We should not only be careful, as to what we ask of God, for indeed he may give it to us.

We must be every bit as careful to whom we give our charity, and why we do so. Lest we forget to conduct our lives in the correct fashion, while the cash is spent on deliberately producing far more problems then they were ever intended to solve.

I think of Christmases past when families wondered if their family would ever come together again...or mourned....probably because I was listening to I'll Be Home for Christmas and wondered how many never came home....

Seasons greetings to all who contribute to lively debate on current issues addressed by HG.

May we all remember in our prayers our brave armed forces, who are currently seperated from their families whilst serving abroad during this special time and facing untold dangers daily for us, irrespective of political whim..THEY DO IT FOR US!

Was John Humphrys drugged out this morning on Today ? He ragged on the Catholich Archbishop in Birmingham ad nauseam about condoms and homosexuality - it was the occasion of The Pope's broadcast on Thought for the Day. He even went on about Abortion at Christmas !!!

Yet Humphrys never once suggested homosexuals should use condoms, nor when the BBC will show a programme on Abortion warts and all.

The behaviour of Humphrys was harassment and suggests the old fool is completely senile and obsessional. It is time he was retired to a care home. He is of such limited intellect and way out of his depth

About His Grace:

Archbishop Cranmer takes as his inspiration the words of Sir Humphrey Appleby: ‘It’s interesting,’ he observes, ‘that nowadays politicians want to talk about moral issues, and bishops want to talk politics.’ It is the fusion of the two in public life, and the necessity for a wider understanding of their complex symbiosis, which leads His Grace to write on these very sensitive issues.

Cranmer's Law:

"It hath been found by experience that no matter how decent, intelligent or thoughtful the reasoning of a conservative may be, as an argument with a liberal is advanced, the probability of being accused of ‘bigotry’, ‘hatred’ or ‘intolerance’ approaches 1 (100%).”

The cost of His Grace's conviction:

His Grace's bottom line:

Freedom of speech must be tolerated, and everyone living in the United Kingdom must accept that they may be insulted about their own beliefs, or indeed be offended, and that is something which they must simply endure, not least because some suffer fates far worse. Comments on articles are therefore unmoderated, but do not necessarily reflect the views of Cranmer. Comments that are off-topic, gratuitously offensive, libelous, or otherwise irritating, may be summarily deleted. However, the fact that particular comments remain on any thread does not constitute their endorsement by Cranmer; it may simply be that he considers them to be intelligent and erudite contributions to religio-political discourse...or not.

The Anglican Communion has no peculiar thought, practice, creed or confession of its own. It has only the Catholic Faith of the ancient Catholic Church, as preserved in the Catholic Creeds and maintained in the Catholic and Apostolic constitution of Christ's Church from the beginning.Dr Geoffrey Fisher, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1945-1961

British Conservatism's greatest:

The epithet of 'great' can be applied only to those who were defining leaders who successfully articulated and embodied the Conservatism of their age. They combined in their personal styles, priorities and policies, as Edmund Burke would say, 'a disposition to preserve' with an 'ability to improve'.

I am not struck so much by the diversity of testimony as by the many-sidedness of truth.Stanley Baldwin, 1st Earl Baldwin of Bewdley, KG, PC.(Prime Minister 1923-1924, 1924-1929, 1935-1937)

I am a Conservative to preserve all that is good in our constitution, a Radical to remove all that is bad.
